Health & Safety Auditing
"If you have
a choice between certainty and hope, choose certainty every time."
- anon - quotation from an unknown source.
In implementing health and safety you hope you have covered all eventualities and met all of your statutory health and safety requirements, but to be certain of this an independent audit by an expert health and safety practitioner can fill any holes or aid peace of mind.
Lucid's health and safety auditing services offer the flexibility to conform to your business and requirements. We offer a comprehensive and practical safety management systems audit in line with HSE guidelines. We can train your safety managers and representatives, help develop your safety policies, and audit your premises, practices and procedures.
In auditing the health and safety implementation in your business, we aim to highlight any deficiencies, but we are not looking to find fault. We are happy to conduct full health and safety audits and find zero corrective actions where your application of health and safety has been good, thorough and reasonable. It can be a fault with auditors that they are not content unless they have found something, but our expert health and safety consultants do not fall into this trap and do not then propose unreasonable actions for the sake of appearing thorough.
Our aim with health and safety auditing services is to work with you for the benefit of all, bringing clarity and simplicity to the implementation of health and safety where possible. Such a lucid approach brings simplicity and with this comes easy and ready adoption of health and safety principles and procedures helping to reduce hazards, accidents and ill health.
The principles we apply are that encouraging a culture of safe working coupled with appropriate safety procedures and safe working practices is preferable to more draconian measures. Contrary to popular belief, we believe this principle is enshrined in UK and European health and safety legislation, but is not always fully adopted by all health and safety practitioners.
Asbestos
Surveying, Audits & Auditing
All premises managers/landlords are required to have formal documentation produced by a 'competent' person to prove the existence and location of asbestos containing materials.
We have fully trained and competent staff able to assist with the requirements of the Asbestos at Work Regulations. For more information on auditing, surveying, health affects or training on asbestos health and safety matters please see our Asbestos Hazards & Safety page.
Laser Safety Auditing
Laser safey is an area in which we have significant expertise well beyond those available to most health and safety training companies or other health and safety professionals and practitioners offering auditing services. If your business uses laser based equipment or devices, then there may be areas of laser safety where your procedures and working practices could be improved. It is not unusual to find some business are very on-the-ball with some aspects of laser safety, but are not aware or not so switched on to others.
Our laser safety consultants can assist with auditing up to whatever level you require to ensure the safe use of lasers and laser based equipment in your workplace. Contact us for an initial consultation on your laser safety issues and requirements.
